Keep the Peace Makarau Valley

  • KTPMV update

      26 May 2025

    Hello community

    KTPMV are sharing the Hearing costs 50/50 with the Vipassana Foundation. Approximate total costs of the Hearing and expert witnesses are $165,000 however we are still short about $30,000 to meet our 50% share, which is an improvement on the $55,000 shortfall when we last reported.

    We have recently been having an online garage sale of unwanted items which has helped raise some funds. If you would also like to help in that regard, please get in touch.

    Based on outstanding evidence required from the ASC - their Ecology Report which must include an Ecological Management Plan - it is unlikely that a Hearing date can be scheduled until the end of August at the earliest.

    The KTPMV committee decided to re-open our Givealittle Page and seek ongoing financial support from our affected community to help meet the shortfall.

    ANY amount would be greatly appreciated. We MUST rid our community of the ASC and restore our peaceful lifestyles, as well as maintain the value of our properties.

    Thank you again for your ongoing support.

  • Latest update to KTPMV fundraising efforts.

      21 October 2024

    The KTPMV committee decided to extend our Givealittle Page closing date out to 31 December as we are still desperately short of funds to meet the costs associated with our legal battle against the Auckland Shooting Club's resource consent application to operate 5 ranges within our small peaceful community on Tuhirangi Rd. The Vipassana Meditation Centre, (1.1kms from the shooting), and many other residents, are also suffering the ill-effects of this noisy and environmentally destructive activity. We would be most grateful for any amount that you can manage to donate towards this very worthwhile cause.

    Thank you for your support this far.

    Shooting at the Auckland Shooting Club continues on a daily basis. It is loud and disruptive within our close knit community, including the Vipassana Meditation Centre.

    Our fundraising efforts continue with a raffle, direct donations, and via this Givealittle Page.

    If you want more information regarding the ASC activities or how you can help us shut them down permanently, please email: shootingclubaction@gmail.com

  • Second KTPMV update

      10 June 2024

    We are incredibly appreciative of peoples' generosity to date. We also acknowledge how difficult it is during the current cost of living crisis. The sum raised so far will help towards the cost of the upcoming hearing, however we are still a very long way from our target. If you want to know more about the effects the Auckland Shooting Club is having on the local community, or have any questions, please feel free to email me at bill@isnorthland.co.nz
